Many derivatives have different vision, practices, policies, release
schedules, goals and priorities to Debian, all of which may be reflected in
the patches produced.
If you contact any derivatives about these patches, please be polite and
courteous.
You should also keep in mind that your assumptions about individual patches
may be incorrect due to the differences between Debian and our derivatives.
When contacting them, you might like to point derivatives at the
guidelines
for our derivatives.
